    Secretary General meets survivors of brutal acts of sexual violence. Rightly asks the world to step up support and show solidarity.

    Today in Bangladesh I met Rohingya women and girls who suffered horrific acts of sexual violence in Myanmar — some now mothers to babies born of rape. They must not be forgotten victims. The world must know their story. We must show them solidarity.

    Remarkable commitment from an outstanding partner. Sincerest gratitude to for the support to our vital services for Palestine refugees, notably education for 526‘000 girls and boys. Thank you for the trust.

    Funding for UNRWA is critically important. For those who say it is too costly - consider the effects! Young lives would be lost, human potential squandered and instability increase. Sweden aims for multi-year support at around 250 Million USD over 4 years. We will not walk away!

    Gender parity in practice during Sweden’s Secirity Council Presidency:

    5 days until presidency! For the 1st time in history there will be gender balance between ALL briefers during July. In 2018, this should not be the exception, but the norm. We hope this will set a new standard. Ps.TY SG for making a priority!
